Hi all. I am looking to install a replacement for my front drive shaft. Does anyone have information they could share about what type this one is? It's a big mess.

Looks like factory front drive shaft.
What is wrong with it?
Unless the splines are shot, I would rebuild it.

Clean it up and see if it’s still usable. Dirty doesn’t mean it’s worn out.
Loose, binding, or otherwise worn out slip splines would indicate a new driveshaft in your future.
U-joints are replaceable. All three.

Otherwise, that’s just a standard front (or rear, depending upon length) bronco driveshaft.
Almost universally regarded as a “double-cardan style shaft” because of the 2 U-joints held together by a yoke and centering ball at the end for the transfer case.

Does your transfer case still have the appropriate yoke?

'74 from your sig line. That still has all the parts available. No glaring damage in the pictures.
Have you done a transmission swap that moved the transfer case further back?
Looks servicable from here.
